New Pheromone Additive for Men
+ The case for
  • + 390 Pherotruth posts, the most-discussed Love Scent product
  • + Androstadienone-based, so smoother warmth-and-attraction than raw androstenone
  • + NPA + Wolf is one of the most-endorsed cross-brand combos on the forum
  • + Compatible with the twice-daily LaCroy buildup protocol
– Where it falls short
  • – Made by LaCroy, not Love Scent, so formula changes are outside Love Scent's control
  • – The current clear-bottle version divides opinion versus the beloved original brown-bottle formula
  • – Highly dose-sensitive: 2 dabs is standard, and OD is easy
  • – A distinct smell requires a good cover fragrance
The full review

Our testing notes.

New Pheromone Additive's attribution matters: it's made by LaCroy Chemicals and distributed through Love Scent. Love Scent doesn't formulate it and has limited visibility into its composition. Forum members put it bluntly, that 'Love Scent likely has no clue' about the specific compound ratios. The community labels the main active as androstadienone, which the forum describes as producing androstenone-like effects but with more warmth and bonding character and less raw aggression.

NPA's primary use is as an additive, not a standalone. The standard approach is 2 dabs applied directly to the neck from the bottle, then layered with a cover cologne and optionally another product. At this dose it's described as a 'hard hitter' for sexual and attraction effects. Exceeding it is easy and counterproductive.

"Love Scent's flagship unscented additive for men. Oil-based formula designed for mixing into your existing cologne. Ten-plus years of community use and well-documented results."
- Gabriel

The NPA + Wolf (LAL) combination deserves special mention. It shows up as a recommended pairing across dozens of threads, endorsed even by users mainly discussing other brands. As one put it: 'My all-time favorite combo is NPA from LaCroy with a couple of sprays of Wolf. It's perfect for any occasion — leader vibe but still keeps things spicy. The self-effects are wonderful.'

The formula controversy is real. The brown-bottle original is what veteran users built their opinions on. The current clear-bottle version is debated: some find it equivalent, others notice a different smell profile and different effects. Newer buyers are working with the current version, which means some historical reviews may not fully apply to what's on sale today.

Mistress Pheromones for Women

Mistress Pheromones for Women is the female counterpart to Master, a romantic roll-on under a ylang ylang cover scent, mixing genuine compounds (copulins, estratetraenol) with the same speculative 'Trp2 / V1r/V2r' putatives. The copulins and estratetraenol give it a real foundation. The proprietary putatives are marketing-flavored extras. A pleasant, well-rated perfume best judged on its real compounds.

The fine print

Frequently asked questions.

Real questions from readers. If we haven't covered something, write to us.

Who actually makes New Pheromone Additive?

LaCroy Chemicals manufactures it; Love Scent is a retailer. This matters when reading reviews, because effects and formula changes should be attributed to LaCroy rather than to the shop selling it, and distributors have limited visibility into reformulation.

How much NPA should I apply?

Two dabs directly to the neck is the community consensus starting point. One dab is often reported as underdosing and three to four drops is the upper limit people describe for solo wear. It is dose-sensitive enough that overdose reports, including social avoidance, are common.

What is the brown bottle versus clear bottle debate?

NPA has gone through multiple formula versions. Veterans generally regard the original brown-bottle version as the benchmark, while the later clear-bottle release smells different and split opinion, generating a 261-post thread of its own. Some users find them equally effective; others disagree. If you are comparing against old reviews, you may not be testing the same product.

Should NPA be worn on its own?

The name is accurate: it is designed as an additive and most users layer it rather than wearing it solo. The single most-cited pairing across the forums is NPA with LAL's Wolf. There is also a well-known LaCroy buildup routine that applies it before sleep and again on waking over several days.

Does NPA need a cover scent?

For most users, yes. It has a distinct smell that lingers, and regular wearers describe pairing it with a designer cologne as standard practice rather than an optional refinement.
